The Blancpain Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback (Ref. 5200-1110-71S) is a professional-grade diving chronograph that blends precision engineering, robust construction, and timeless design. Part of the legendary Fifty Fathoms collection, this model is tailored for those who demand both technical performance and refined style in one timepiece. Housed in a 43.6mm satin-brushed stainless steel case, the watch is paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet, giving it a sleek, integrated look that is equally at home in the depths of the ocean or in urban environments. Its meteor grey sunburst dial offers a sophisticated gradient tone, subtly shifting in the light and framed by a unidirectional bezel with a grey ceramic insert and Liquidmetal® markers for enhanced durability and clarity. The dial is equipped with three subdials for the chronograph functions and a discreet date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. The applied indexes and bold hands are coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring optimal visibility in all lighting conditions. Inside beats the in-house Blancpain Caliber F385, a high-frequency (5 Hz) automatic flyback chronograph movement. This state-of-the-art caliber features a column wheel, vertical clutch, and a flyback function, allowing the wearer to reset and restart the chronograph with a single press — perfect for precise timing on the move. With a 50-hour power reserve and a silicon balance spring for enhanced magnetic resistance, this movement is both durable and highly accurate. The sapphire caseback reveals the beautifully finished movement and engraved solid gold rotor. The steel bracelet adds both strength and elegance to the piece, featuring a secure folding clasp for comfort and confidence during active use. With a water resistance rating of 300 meters, the watch is ready for serious diving yet refined enough for formal occasions. The Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback 5200-1110-71S is a compelling choice for those who seek a masterfully engineered chronograph with classic styling and the full capability of a modern dive instrument.
